If Evolution and Natural Selection is True...

Just some silly things I have been pondering lately...

If naturalistic evolution is true, and if this somehow "personified" power of natural selection is truly believed to be at work in the universe, making things better by removing the weak links, then why don't we just remove all warning notices and the barrage of silly, obvious signs around town, and let nature take it's course? If some people are too ignorant to know any better, lets clear the gene pool by letting them make the deadly mistakes themselves.

If natural selection is true, then can an evolutionist logically be any kind of conservationist, save the forest, clean the air, global warming advocate, etc? I mean if natural selection is in control, then these things could logically lead to the next step in human evolution, right? Poisonous air, too much carbon dioxide, dirty water, etc. could produce a new breed of super human, and rid the world of the weaker breeds by killing them off, while others adapt. So, why should they get involved in saving the planet at all?

If natural selection is true, then can an evolutionist logically be a defense attorney in a murder case? There is no "murder" in an materialistic universe. Murder is one creation of God killing another person made in God's image. Evolution/atheistic thought says humans are just a pile of random cells with no real moral being or soul, so killing one is just natural selection at work...survival of the fittest, right?

Evolution Confusion

More than once I have read in the writings of someone promoting evolution, how this planet was just right to support life. How other planets are too hot or too cold, or do not have the proper air quality to support life. Those type of comments have always confused me. Has anyone stopped to think about what is being said?

The very doctrine of evolution teaches that life has evolved to be what it is based on the climate and survival. So, life is the way life is (according to evolution) because it shaped itself to fit it's surrounding. So, the mentality that this planet is more adequately suited to support life is ridiculous. Life is not life because of the planet, the planet came first, and life "grew up" based on the surrounding it had.

Life could have just as easily "evolved" to support itself on Mars, and it would have evolved to survive in that planet's condition. Likewise the sun, why could it not support life of creature of fire? It all seems so backwards when you think about it. Based on evolution, life evolves changes in order to survive. So why couldn't it evolve to survive on other types of planets?

I was always curious as to how it could evolve in some areas, to survive. If one of these evolving sea creatures flopped up on the shore, and yet had no lungs to breath air, how did it evolve to breath air? Every time one of them plopped up on the shore, it would lay there and die from not being able to breath. Are we to assume that if enough sea animals jump up out of the water and die, that over time, one of the water creature will just develop a breathing apparatus and be able to survive? What happened to the first sea animal that came out of his mother with air breathing lungs? Wouldn't it immediately die in the water? Or did it's mother know what it was, and immediatly after birth the it up on the shore?

Well, enough rambling, the point is, this planet was made in order for it to comfortably support life. Life was in mind when this planet was created. However, life was created by God to be able to comfortably live on THIS planet. God could have just as easily created a life form fully able to conform to life on the Sun, or the Moon, or Jupiter, or Mars. In other words, God was not limited to creating life only on the Earth because it was the only one able to support life. God could have created life on any planet, and created it to live in it's climate perfectly.

So really, there is nothing so special about Earth or Man that makes either one of them have to be where they are. Which is simply to say, we are where we are, and Earth is like it is, being perfect for our living condition, because God perfectly constructed both according to his plan, to work together. God was not limited to only being able to work with Earth due to our and our human makeup, he could have done any number of things in any number of places.

Evolution takes way too much faith to believe all of this is an accident.
